I set out with the idea of taking a trip to Faeto and along the way I found writings on the ground and tracks that I tried to follow. I only realized later that I had entered some sections of this year's Serraronda.
The off-map path that leads to the antennas of Faeto is a blast and the descent along

This is my favorite climb on the Apennine trails.
Usually I'm content to reach the lake and then retrace the entire route backwards but this year I had enough to push the bike to the top of Spigolino, from there the view is spectacular.

It's been a long time since I tackled the climb to Mount Calvario... it's always tough and rather rough, especially under the summer sun

Short but intense ride.
It had been several years since I had descended to Braidella from Rocca Santa Maria and, also thanks to the heavy rains of the last few days, I found some really challenging loose stones in the upper part.
A really nice technical route for MTB, it deserves that S3 with which it is marked.

Climb to Serra with off-road route from Stella upwards.
For the return, since it was getting dark, I chose a quick and easy itinerary passing through Valle and then descending along the Tiepido.

Returning to Blackberry Lake after the attempt 2 months ago.
This time I identified the route to get to via Tadioli bypassing private property: well passable in the first part but then it leads to the edge of a field and it is difficult to proceed there if there is very tall grass.
The vegetation is far

I tried one of my favorite laps around Monfestino hoping not to find too much residual mud from the recent rains and it went pretty well.
The climb from via dei Minirotti turned out to be interesting if it weren't for the end which can only be overcome on foot, even the asphalt section to go up from that

From the Serra cemetery I took the descent towards Val di Sasso and then continued on the hillside path and went around Monfestino.
To return I took the path under Valledana (I was tempted to cross it so as not to have to cross the Estense but when I read "Private Property" I always take alternative routes).

I went down towards Lago delle More to see if it was possible to go back to Faeto from there... the route I identified would require passing through private property so I retraced my steps.
(Next time I'll try to stay above the lake to see if Via Tadioli is passable from there).
The woods of Faeto can

All the rides are beautiful but every now and then there are some that are simply perfect: where all the ingredients come together masterfully (weather, adventure, technical difficulties, physical fitness, ...) and give a unique sensation.
Also this week I returned to do the descent from Cornazzano but

Since the season is holding up and the paths are dry, I returned to Monfestino again, but this time I chose to go down the slope of Mount Cornazzano.
Almost the entire route is on a road, the technical and single-trail part begins after Ca' Alfieri, when you leave the path that goes down to the Bucamante

Again a climb to Serra to reach the paths of Monfestino in early autumn when the green of the leaves begins to turn yellow. Along the path I found the first fallen leaves and the first thorny chestnut curls.
This time the descent is on the side of the Bucamante stream until you reach Pietraia and from

After reaching the square in Serra and filling up the water bottle, you start again to begin the dirt part of the itinerary which leads you to cross most of the paths that branch off into the woods of Monfestino.
The descent requires attention and familiarity with the dirt road due to the presence of

The carpet of leaves that can be found in the Faeto woods in this season hides the dangers of the terrain, better to stay focused even if the beauty of the environment invites you to get distracted.
I hadn't tried the climb from San Pellegrinetto yet (I usually do it downhill): it's intense and rough
